And the diagnosis is.........

He has major allergies to grass and trees.  Isn't that funny:0)  This explains the eczema and wheezing.   His milk and wheat allergy didn't come up as high as the grass and trees, but we are going to have to change his diet.  That will be fun.  I am about to go and research high fiber meals and lactose free stuff.  At least now we have answers and hopefully we will start to see a difference in his health.  The Dr. is treating his wheezing as asthma, so he will now be doing a treatment a day. I love the doctor we saw today. Her bed side manor was wonderful!!  
It was great speaking with her and she actually made a comment that stopped me in my tracks.  Now that doesn't happen very often, but she said that Liam is very lucky to be with us.  I hear that all the time, and have never felt that way.  I have always felt that we are lucky to have him with us.  So I shared that with her.  She then said, yes, but if he were still in Guatemala, he would not be getting help for this and would be a very sick little boy.  You know, it is something very minor and correctable, and I have totally taken advantage of the fact that I just made an appointment and took him to a doctor.  I am so thankful that she pointed out how blessed we are in this country to have health care.   From now on, I will say an extra prayer of thanksgiving every time one of has to go to the doctor!! 

Thanks for praying.  I feel good that we have some answers. I will feel better when we start to see some results.   Thanks so much for praying!  If any of you out there have experience in this department, I would love advice!!
